While I don’t get as much reading in as I used to, I still enjoy a good book and have spent many afternoons with my nose buried in a book at a café here or there. Nothing scientific here, but here are a few books I enjoyed or at least found useful on topics relevant to the site (I’m sure many good ones are missing here, so please feel free to leave me a comment with recommendations, too!!):

Getting to know The Germans

• Nothing for Ungood – John Madison
• The Xenophobe’s Guide to the Germans – Stefan Zeidenitz

Living in a Foreign Country
